I would like to share with everyone my winch...
This is my second so far and I'm probably going to start on the next one here in about a week or so.

I was thinking about adding some type of shifter lever to make it easier for the driver. I'm not too sure on what to use for a lever...maybe rummage some cars at the junk yard.?
I drew a picture of the ideas I was thinking of. Just not sure on how easy it would be to do the idea thats in red...
Any suggestions?

I just cut a golf handle off a golf club an sliped it over the lever an pinched it with vise grips to keep it on. An I love it
Very Happy

just drill a hold between the spool side and axle and put a pin in it, releasable spool Birthday

sandiego4real, that's a ballin idea. I'm gonna look into that.

De Oro, I've yet to have a need for a releasing spool. Walking the handle out is pretty easy.

wakeboarderx03x, they get harder and harder with more use, but the driver can get annoyed pulling the rope for someone swimming

i put the pin on my winch spool i just built. check my thread for pics. got the idea from pulldozer for the spool release. havent heard of complaints. with my few pulls, it held. nice when pulling out the rope for sure.

I have the same motor. How do you like yours?
I am yet to complete my winch... still working on the frame. Is the TAV necessary?

I like the engine. It starts first pull every time.
The only thing is, that it takes a couple pulls with the lighter(under 175lbs) guys before it will want to pull the bigger (175lbs+) guys... I guess its just that engine break in period. Go figure.
I've never used a winch with a CC, so all my experience is with the TAV. It works great.

So we decided to take the winch down to orlando just incase we happen to roll up on somethin sick...

It managed to cave the roof in on the rental car.

I have the same motor..........Im having trouble getting to a higher speed........do you have that problem?........what's your gear ratio?

wakeboarderx03x · Posted: Sep 18, 2008 9:15 am Post subject:

mr. Blonde, Depends on what you consider a higher speed? It pulls me fine. I wouldn't mind taking the governor off though.
It's a 1:6 ratio. 12:72 with 8in. ID on the spool.

Soulprogression, pm sent

mr. Blonde · Posted: Sep 18, 2008 11:01 am Post subject:

wakeboarderx03x, yeah Im thinkn my gearing is off a little bit...........do you know how to take off the governor?

wakeboarderx03x · Posted: Sep 19, 2008 1:55 am Post subject:

I know how to take the gov off those honda engines. I think theres a thread on here with a tutorial on how to take them off. I wish there was a tutorial on how to take the gov off the briggs tho...
